Chalets d'Anse Forbans reviews

1 reader found this review helpful

This family run and owned business of self-catering chalets is located right on the beach and must be one of Mahe's hidden gems. From our warm welcome at the airport to our sad farewell we had an awesome time. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There are no... more

Hell in the seychells
I booked this for myself and my new wife to go on a honeymoon as I had been to the seychelles twice before and loved it so wanted to take my wife there to share this great get away but what a big mistake. I was last there in 1998 and could not believe how the island had changed it is how well two busy full of rude people where they were before happy I think there seems to be massive resenment towards travellers with money who come and visit the island. The chalets were o.k if very basic not even cushions for the sun loungers and dont take... more
Management response from Forbans

Dear benson05 We are truly sorry to hear that your experience of the Seychelles was not up to your expectations especially as this was on your honeymoon. We accommodate many couples on their honeymoon to the Seychelles and they have all been very pleased with their stay with us. As always, we welcome all constructive criticism in order to strive to be of better service to our clients and as this business is our livelihood we take all reviews very seriously. In response to your comments we wish to confirm the following: 1. Our records indicate that it was due to work commitments that you had to shorten your stay and not for the reasons indicated in your review which come as quite a surprise to us. Our staff accommodated you in every respect in this regard and you even thanked us for our kindness and help in re-confirming all your flight tickets. 2. The chalets have undergone major management changes and restructuring since 2008. Hence the lateness in our response as we now have set up a new marketing division. 3. All our chalets have new sun loungers with waterproof cushions for better comfort for all our clients. 4. The chalets are very secure and we have a night security watchman who patrols the chalets for the added safety and security of our clients. Wishing you and your wife all the best for the future. Daphne

Beautiful location
Great location, and beautiful chalet. The chalet was enormous - we stayed in one of the ones with 2 bedrooms. All facilities were great and very clean. The family who run the place were very helpful in every way. We had a rucksack stolen from our room (fished), and they were great - very responsive, very supportive and very sensitive -couldn't have done more. The beach is perfect, absolutely picture postcard perfect - white sand, palm trees - incredible - saw a hawksbill turtle on it while having a jog, and the snorkelling... more
Loved the Chalets
We got married in Seychelles and we all stayed at Chalets d' Anse Forbans. The holiday and wedding was a dream come true for us all. The owners/family of Chalets d' Anse forbans could not do enough for us and where an absolute dream to deal with. I now understand a car hire has also opened on the premises which is a great advantage for them. Good luck and longing to come visit again soon.
Amazing time
Just returned from the most amazing holiday in the Seychelles. As this was our first time there we were unsure to island hop or just to stay on the main island Mahe. After exploring the island, we decided we could not have selected a better place to stay. The chalets are so well kept and clean and the staff are so friendly. The owners could not do enough for us, a big thank you to Daphne for the lovely flowers that grow in her Mom's garden and to Brigitte and Pierre who were always on hand to explain how to find various attractions etc.... more
Chalets Forbans
We had a wonderful time in the Seychelles, first we stayed at La Residence then went to Chalet Forbans where we had been in 2002. Chalet Forbans is a beautiful location but the owners are very bossy. On arrival instead of showing you to your room to relax they take you through a long drawn out booking in procedure where your credit card and signature is taken several times. If you like being in the Headmasters office this is the place for you. Accommodation very good. Don't break anything unless you want to pay for it.... more
REALLY PARADISE
Chalets d' Anse Forbans is a beautiful place full of nature with a quite and wonderful beach. The owners of the Chalets are amazing and helful persons all the time in anything you need. This is the perfect place to be relax and happy. In my opinion is perfect for everyone. The kindly staff was coming every morning to clean the Chalet and leave the clean towels. The chalets are in perfect conditions and very well painted and furnished. It's a self-catering hotel, so you may need to go to the restaurants around or also you can cook at... more
Remote Location
It is truely a magnificent setting. We have young children and there was plenty of grass for them to run around on. It is however a long way from any restaurant or supermarket, so you will need to hire a car. If you have young children the sea may be a bit rough, but there is a swimming pool at the plantation hotel which they allowed us to use. The owners are friendly and are an abundence of knowledge. However, beware of the wicked old mum, she still has her South African hospitality ingrained. Summary - If you are going... more
Paradise
Always wanted to go to the Seychelles and I wasn't disappointed for one minute. The quiet location the the Sout East coast was perfect. The chalets were better than I thought they would be, cleaned every day and fresh linen every day, more than enough room for 4 adults. The owners would do anything they could for you, they answered all our questions, including history lessons, set us off in the right direction, booked our car etc etc. The staff were wonderful too the Seyshellois people are lovely people. The gardener... more
Great Family Vacation
Traveling with two young kids (4 yr old and 18 month old) limited us a bit as some of the nicer hotels didn't allow children or they were too expensive to consider. The Chalets offered a very relaxing holiday and great time for all. We stayed in the two bedroom chalet (there are two available) which was set back from the beach and very private. The chalet itself was well kept and quite a good size for the 4 of us. They nicely provided us with a crib and high chair, and Brigitte was always there to accomodate our many questions or... more
Recent trip
Just spent 2 weeks mainly in Mahe, 3 days on La Digue. Stayed at Chalets Anse Forbans in the SE of Mahe. accomodation fine, on beach with good snorkelling 2-3hrs either side if high tide. Not good for Eating, nearest restaurant about 4 miles, Chez Bastiste ot Plantation club. Being there over holiday period meant that there was not much selection in shops. Had to hire car. Everywhere took Euros and pounds. On La Digue stayed at Domaine de la orangerie. excellent small hotel. Lovely accomaodation and breakfast on verandah.
